U.S.-Microsoft antitrust deal to get temporary extension

Microsoft, state prosecutors, and the U.S. Department of Justice on
Tuesday said a federal judge needs more time to weigh whether Redmond
should be subjected to a lengthier period of antitrust policing.

In a joint filing with U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, who
has been overseeing Microsoft's antitrust compliance, they asked for a
soon-to-expire oversight period to be temporarily extended until at
latest January 31, 2008. That way, the judge will have more time to
weigh the merits of last-minute pleas from a number of state
prosecutors to add another five years to the oversight regime.
